GNFF launched Seed of Change to address the rising challenges that arose following the economic crisis of 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic. Seeds and seedlings were distributed to farmers, cooperatives and youth interested in growing their own crops.

The program’s goal is to teach people living in urban and rural areas how to be self-sufficient by growing their own food. Local and International experts have been providing online and in-person hands-on coaching sessions based on participants’ needs.

Participants learn how to grow food indoors, on rooftops and balconies. Topics include building soil quality, composting, crop diversification, seeds extraction and storage, food safety and preservation, agroforestry, pest management and companion planting.

SoC continues to evolve, providing training customized to participants’ needs and attracting an increasingly diverse audience.
